A Rochester, New York, man has been indicted on charges of trying to provide material support to the Islamic State militant group and attempting to murder U.S. soldiers, the U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday.

A federal grand jury in Rochester handed down a seven-count indictment against Mufid Elfgeeh, 30, following an investigation by the FBI's Rochester Joint Terrorism Task Force, a Justice Department statement said.

According to court records, Elfgeeh, beginning last year, tried to help three people - two of whom were cooperating with the FBI - to travel to Syria to fight for Islamic State, a Sunni militant group that has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria.

"Elfgeeh also plotted to shoot and kill members of the United States military who had returned from Iraq," authorities said. "As part of the plan to kill soldiers, Elfgeeh purchased two handguns equipped with firearm silencers and ammunition from a confidential source."

If we would hang these people in public it would cut down on this sort of treachery.

If your name is Mufid Elfgeeh you’ve got two choices in life - male prostitute or Islamic terrorist.
This Mufid chose poorly.

Go figure. A fifth generation American. He must've had a strong back and a weak mind.

I expect to see dozens of them caught throughout America in the future and all receiving slaps on the wrists because there are no definite laws in the books that criminalize these acts.

Great!

All y’all like bacon and ham sandwiches?

Sort of sets the tone for an Islam lynching - - - .
